Simple solutions to an annoying Lagos traffic

It is no news that Lagos is constantly bedeviled with chronic gridlocks ( traffic ) in our major roads. This sorry traffic situation may further be aggravated if solutions are not urgently proffered, especially with our ever increasing population.

Many states in Nigeria are also faced and fazed with the myriad traffic problems which seems to constantly flout various remedial measure adopted by different governments over the years – Lagos is no exception.

Transiting from one location to another is usually a heck of an experience, especially when passengers and drivers alike have to literally spend the whole day in traffic for what should have ordinarily been a journey of minutes or even a few hours.

Noise and air pollutions make the already bad and pitiable journey more inconvenient.

Well, we can all cry blue murder about the annoying situation of vehicular movements in our dear state, however, the writer have been benevolent to give a few suggestions that could prove very invaluable to solving the perennial road congestion problems.

Drivers should be encouraged and if possible forced to become more literate in traffic and road regulations.

Bad and unsafe roads should not be left too long before they fixed and not just patched with inferior materials.

Government should strengthen its agencies more to tackle and enforce some of its laws pertaining traffic laws.

States and federal agencies of government need to collaborate more with respect to traffic regulations.

Cars and vehicles that are no longer road worthy should be either fixed or totally removed from our roads.

Illegal parking of vehicles (especially trucks and trailers) on our major road should be discouraged and perpetrators punished.
